Who/what is she looking at?

I have always been a fun of fairy tales, especially if girls and dragons are involved. :-) This character, a 12-13 year old girl, was originally started  as an illustration for a story, but as the authors of the book did not really like my sketches. We might not have spent enough time together. I think it is a very difficult to assess someone's ability based on one preliminary sketch. And I must add I am a slow type, an old fashioned artist who takes her time to do a little research, contemplates on the details, modifies her sketches composition until everything is singing. However disappointed I was with the outcome of the negotiations,
 meanwhile I fell in love with the basic concept and I decided to finish the picture anyway, changing the originally rather dramatic or horrifying scene to something humorous. what you can see here, is a small unfinished part of the girl only.

Work in progress: Girls and Beasts

Stucked with my other works I just decided to re-vamp an old watercolor on my computer. It (I mean the original) belongs to those pieces that you spend hours working on elaborate details then the result is just miserable.but you feel sorry to destroy it. Either the composition turns to be bad or the colors or somehow something is just missing. Due to the watercolor unforgiving manner you have limited options for correction. So it sits somewhere in a bottom of your dark drawer waiting for rebirth.

Playing around an older drawing, it should look great in gray-scale too.
